052 – Move from X
Some Backstory:
I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts, the Art of Charm and they were interviewing Michelle Rigby Assad, an ex-CIA Intelligence Officer about many things including the stories in her head about belonging in the CIA but also more importantly, what it took for her to work with informants in the Muslim Nation. More specifically, what it took to break their assumptions about a young, white woman and to gain their trust to spill their intel.
Super interesting, but here is my main takeaway. During her conversation, she spoke about ambush training and how the CIA is training them to NOT FREEZE. In any dangerous situation, a person will either fight, flight, or freeze and it was the main point of training to always move from X. Get away from allowing yourself to be the target.
I say to you dear listener. In your everyday life, how can this apply to you in your fears, situations, and experiences. How can you “move from X”.
Action Step:
Take one item/conflict/issue that you have FREEZED on, and MOVE. Post it up and help others have courage to take a step with their own issues.
